Question #N449
The perimeter of a square is 36 inches. What is the area of the square, in square inches?
A. 18
B. 36
C. 81
D. 144
Correct Answer is: C
The perimeter of a square is the total length of all its sides. Since a square has 4 equal sides, each side is 36 inches / 4 = 9 inches. The area of a square is the side length squared, so the area is 9 inches * 9 inches = 81 square inches.
